THE MOISSANITE / LEGAL
Terms of Service
Our terms for shopping with confidence.
Last updated: 19 October 2026
OVERVIEW
Welcome to The Moissanite. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply when you browse the-moissanite.com, place an order, or use the content, products and services made available through our online store (together, the “Services”). “The Moissanite,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the business operating this store under that trading name.
Please read these Terms before using the Services. By using this website, you agree to these Terms and to any policies that are specifically brought to your attention. If you do not agree, please stop using the Services. These Terms apply to visitors and customers alike.
Our online shop is built on WordPress and WooCommerce. We may update our store and these Terms as our business develops. Any changes will appear on this page and will apply as permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits legal rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
SECTION 1 — ONLINE STORE TERMS
You must be legally capable of entering into a purchase contract, or have permission from a parent or guardian where required. You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes, and not to introduce harmful code or interfere with other visitors’ use of the Services.
SECTION 2 — GENERAL CONDITIONS
We may take reasonable measures to protect the website, investigate suspected fraud, or restrict misuse of the Services. You may not reproduce or commercially exploit our website content without our prior permission, except where the law expressly permits it. Section headings are included to make these Terms easier to navigate.
SECTION 3 — ACCURACY AND AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION
We work to keep product details, images, availability and other information accurate and up to date. Occasionally information may be incomplete or become outdated. If you have any questions about a particular piece or its specifications, please contact us before ordering. Nothing here affects rights you have if goods do not match their description.
SECTION 4 — PRICES AND CHANGES TO THE SERVICE
Prices, promotions and product availability may change. The price and delivery charges shown at checkout are the amounts presented for your order, subject to any correction made before a contract is formed. We may change or discontinue website features without notice, but this does not remove our obligations under an existing accepted order.
SECTION 5 — PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS
Our jewellery may include lab-created moissanite gemstones, sterling silver, plated finishes and other materials as expressly described on each product page. Moissanite is a gemstone distinct from natural or laboratory-grown diamond. Product sizes, carat-equivalent descriptions and measurements should be read together with the specific listing; minor manufacturing tolerances may occur.
We make reasonable efforts to represent colour, finish, scale and sparkle faithfully. Appearance can vary between displays and lighting conditions. What you receive must still meet the description and standards required by applicable consumer law. Any returns or exchanges are subject to our published returns information and your statutory rights.
SECTION 6 — BILLING, ORDERS AND ACCOUNT DETAILS
Please provide accurate checkout, billing, delivery and contact information so that we can process your purchase. An automated order acknowledgement confirms that we received your request; it does not necessarily mean that we have accepted it. We may contact you to verify details, correct an obvious error or address suspected unauthorised payment. If we cannot fulfil an order that has been paid for, we will arrange a refund as required by law.
SECTION 7 — THIRD-PARTY TOOLS AND SERVICES
We may use external providers to support payments, shipping, analytics or other store functions. Their services may be subject to separate terms and privacy practices. We do not control every external service, but we remain responsible for our own obligations to customers under applicable law.
SECTION 8 — LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
Some pages may contain links to third-party websites. We provide these for convenience and do not necessarily endorse their content, offers or policies. Please review the relevant provider’s terms before purchasing from or sharing information with a third party.
SECTION 9 — REVIEWS, FEEDBACK AND SUBMISSIONS
When you send us a review, question, suggestion or other submission, you confirm that you have the right to share it and that it is not unlawful or misleading. If we feature customer feedback publicly, we will do so with an appropriate basis or permission and in accordance with applicable privacy law. We may remove content that infringes rights, contains harmful material or misrepresents a purchase experience.
SECTION 10 — PERSONAL INFORMATION
We process personal information to operate the online store and provide customer support, as described in our Privacy Policy. Payment information is handled through the payment options presented at checkout. For questions about personal data, email hello@the-moissanite.com.
SECTION 11 — ERRORS AND OMISSIONS
If we discover an error involving a product, promotion, shipping estimate or other detail, we may correct it and notify affected customers where appropriate. If an order cannot be fulfilled on the terms presented, we will explain the issue and provide the options or remedies required by law.
SECTION 12 — PROHIBITED USES
You must not use the Services to break the law, infringe intellectual property, impersonate others, post abusive or discriminatory material, send spam, harvest personal data, interfere with security systems, distribute malware or disrupt website operations. We may suspend access where reasonably necessary to address such conduct.
SECTION 13 — WEBSITE WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY
We take reasonable care to operate a functional and secure website, but temporary interruptions or technical errors can occur. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that every website feature will always be available.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded. Your statutory consumer rights in relation to goods, refunds and remedies remain unaffected.
SECTION 14 — RESPONSIBILITY FOR MISUSE
You are responsible for your own unlawful use of the website or submissions that infringe the rights of others. Where legally permitted, we may seek to recover losses directly caused by serious breaches of these Terms. This section does not impose a blanket obligation on consumers to cover all claims against our business.
SECTION 15 — SEVERABILITY
If a court or competent authority decides that part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder will continue to apply to the extent legally possible.
SECTION 16 — TERMINATION OF ACCESS
You may stop using our website at any time. We may limit or terminate access if there is a significant breach of these Terms or a security risk. Ending website access does not cancel rights or obligations that have already arisen under an accepted order.
SECTION 17 — ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms, together with any policies expressly incorporated and the terms confirmed during checkout, describe the agreement relating to use of our Services. They do not override mandatory consumer protections or promises made to you about an accepted order.
SECTION 18 — GOVERNING LAW AND CONSUMER RIGHTS
Any dispute will be considered under the laws and mandatory consumer protections applicable to the transaction. Nothing in these Terms removes rights you may have under the laws of your country or state of residence where those rights cannot be waived. Any applicable court or dispute-resolution forum will be determined by mandatory local law and the circumstances of the transaction.
SECTION 19 — CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may revise these Terms by posting an updated version here. The revised wording will identify when it was last updated. Material changes will not retrospectively take away rights relating to orders already accepted, except where required or permitted by law.
SECTION 20 — CONTACT INFORMATION
Questions about these Terms or an order can be sent to hello@the-moissanite.com or through our Contact Us page.
SECTION 21 — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Unless indicated otherwise, The Moissanite or its licensors own the website’s original text, branding, imagery and other protected material. Ownership of third-party marks remains with their respective rights holders. You may browse and share links to our pages, but may not copy or reuse protected content for commercial purposes without authorisation.
SECTION 22 — AUTHENTICITY AND UNAUTHORISED SELLERS
We aim to provide accurate information about our own products and brand. If you encounter a website or listing that appears to impersonate The Moissanite or misuse our imagery, please contact us. We cannot verify or guarantee items sold by unauthorised third parties.
SECTION 23 — PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY AND DESIGNS
Product photography, design presentations and brand assets may be protected by intellectual property rights. Some jewellery styles are classic or widely available designs; no claim is made to exclusive rights in designs that are not legally protected. Reproduction of our original photography or brand materials requires permission unless an applicable exception applies.
SECTION 24 — QUESTIONS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If something goes wrong with an order, please contact our team first so we can investigate and offer an appropriate resolution. You retain any rights to pursue a complaint, chargeback, statutory remedy, alternative dispute resolution or court action available to you under applicable law. We do not require consumers to waive those rights or agree to mandatory arbitration through these Terms.
